Public personal dev accounts: opinions? (programming.dev)

I feel like there are many devs out there who expose a lot of personal details and opinions all over the web. Maybe it's just me, but when starting out with the internet I tried my best to separate my personal details (name, age, sex, country, ethnicity, family ties, relationship status,...) from usernames in public.

Seeing devs do it willingly and voice opinions on divisive or sensitive topics kind of messes with me. Aren't y'all afraid of missing out on job opportunities if someone reads your opinions, code, or other stuff tied to your personal accounts? Or letting anybody (maybe family, friends, acquaintances, ...) in on your personal life, mindset, opinions and other personal information?

I write tons of absolutely crap code for personal use, but I generally don't publish it since it's usually for stuff no one else would care about anyway.

Ah sure, like scripts and stuff. I have some absolutely atrocious python hanging out to help me do shit. I don't have like any actual projects that are just a trash fire though
